Mammography & Breast Cancer Screening

Advanced technology to detect and diagnosis breast cancer, including 3D mammography.

Breast cancer can strike anyone – gender, age, health – making regular breast cancer screening important. When breast cancer is found at an early stage through regular mammograms, nearly 100 percent of patients live at least five years after their diagnosis.

Our screening tools, including mammography and advanced breast imaging exams like digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography), can detect cancer early, when it is most treatable. And, most exams only take 15 minutes!

Breast screening and diagnostic tests

Our breast cancer team includes the expertise of a dedicated breast imaging faculty, featuring more than 15 fellowship-trained breast radiologists. We offer the most advanced technologies available to detect, diagnose and manage breast cancer:

• Mammograms, including digital mammograms and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT, also called “3D mammography”), which is recommended for women with dense breasts
• Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful in special circumstances, such as screening women at high risk for breast cancer.
• Molecular breast imaging (MBI) is designed to increase early detection of invasive breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue. This test is used in addition to digital mammography or 3D mammography.
• Computed tomography (CT), including CT scans combined with positron emission tomography (PET/CT)
• Nuclear medicine
• Sentinel node biopsy, which is the surgical removal of only the sentinel lymph node under the arm, which provides important information for the doctor on the next steps in treating your breast cancer.
• Stereotactic biopsy, A minimally invasive procedure that uses x-ray for guidance and localizes the nodule to accurately obtain samples to send for testing.
